RE: [T3] POR 15 Question, IMPORTANT


<x-charset ISO-8859-1>I've used Corroless in the rear cargo area and under the rear wings in heavy
rust areas (always one coat).  With over a year on the car I've seen no
rust.  It's not necessarily a 'pretty' color like the POR-15 black but is
requires much less prep work and I'm quite satisified with it.

I put POR-15 down on the pan, cabin-side, and coming close to a year without
issue (only had enough for one coat).  I did the full prep of the surface as
directed.  The bad part about my particular 'test' is that the car has been
garaged pretty much the whole time so it does NOT represent real-world
every-day use.

Personally, I prefer the ease-of-use of Corroless.  And its performance has
been flawless.  However, I've heard more good than bad about POR-15 and my
use of it so far has been favorable so I certainly won't kick it out of my
flammables cupboard :)
